Ghost Adventures (2008) s15e16 Episode Script

Phelps Dodge Hospital

1
ZAK: All the injuries,
all the accidents,
all the deaths,
they all came to this hospital.
Are you being choked?
-Yes.
-Is it more of, like, a curse?
-Like a curse, right.
That does not look human.
Oh, my God,
it says "attack"!
-Oh, geez.
-I'm not afraid of you.
Whoa! Whoa!
-I want to kill.
-Whoa!
There's something going on.
ZAK:
There are things in this world
that we will never
fully understand.
[ Distorted ] Understand.
[ Echoing ] We want answers.
We have worked years to build
our credibility, our reputation,
working alongside
the most renowned professionals
in the field,
capturing groundbreaking proof
of the paranormal.
It's working!
I can't give you
an explanation.
[ Birds cawing ]
This is our evidence
our ghost adventures.
We're in Ajo, Arizona.
You know, we've been to a lot
of places in Arizona,
but this is, like, as far out
as I think we've ever been.
We're two hours
from the nearest anything.
ZAK: The Phelps Dodge Hospital
was built in Ajo in 1918
by the mining companies
who carved an 1,100-feet-deep
open-pit mine
into the heart
of this little town.
After decades of receiving
the mangled
and dead bodies of miners,
the hospital was abandoned
and something sinister
was left behind.
There is a caretaker
that lives there.
He is being choked
by an unseen force
when he sleeps.
Before we go to the hospital,
let's just
I bet you
could drive up there.
see if we can see
where this mine is.
ZAK: My God.
It's massive.
Standing in the direct line
connecting the hospital
to this massive crater,
I feel electricity.
It's like there is a beam
of electricity
going from there
to the hospital.
This was a copper mine.
There's still copper
in this hole.
Think about all the copper
wiring there is.
And all of the electricity
right now as we speak
is being generated
through copper.
So many men who were extracting
this copper died
and went to this hospital.
That's where their bodies went.
Basically sacrificed their life
for whoever owned the mine
to get rich.
They're angry.
They want their lives back.
And now it's the mine
where they died
powering their spirits.
This is all Native
American land?
Yeah.
And there's literally
a giant scar wound
in the Earth.
This could all
be cursed land.
Yeah, there could be
a lot of things at play here,
why this gentleman
is inside this hospital
being viciously attacked.
Let's go talk to this guy,
because I'm curious to know,
a hospital sitting that close
to an open-pit mine,
just how powerful
these spirits are over there.
How are you doing?
-Doing good.
-You live here.
-I do live here.
-By yourself?
-By myself.
I'm gonna be
right off the bat here,
are you being choked?
-Yes.
What is this experience like
when you're getting choked?
I'm in my sleep.
That's when I get choked,
and then I wake up
gasping for air.
So, your air intake
is being restricted
by a force?
Yes.
Can you feel a pressure
on your throat?
Like a hand,
like a hand.
And it's like you know
there's a presence there.
In my dreams I'm walking
through the hospital
and I do see from
a distance,
like, a shadow.
For the three years
that you've been here,
have you ever
had dark thoughts?
There's times
where, out of nowhere,
I'll get,
like, depressed.
But usually when
I get depressed,
it's when
I'm in the building.
And then I step out,
I'm okay.
ZAK: While Aaron and Jay meet
two paranormal investigators
who are the only people
to have investigated
the hospital before us,
Billy and I head to the Ajo
Historical Society Museum
to learn more about
the history of the mine.
Jose Castillo was born
in the hospital in 1939.
Jose, you worked
in this mine?
Yes, I did.
I worked there for 27 years.
So there was
a lot of deaths.
Lot of deaths.
I did see
some people die there.
I had an uncle of mine
died in the mine.
Can you tell me
how he died, Jose?
He was using a jackhammer
on a big rock
on the side of a bank
and the bank caved in
and he was buried there.
-He was crushed.
-He was crushed.
All the injuries, all the
accidents, all the deaths,
they all came
to this hospital.
Right.
ZAK: The investigators
take Aaron to the room
where they had
a disturbing experience.
So, I was like this and I
was holding the recorder
and I'm asking questions.
And then something
tapped real hard.
You can hear it
loud on the recorder.
It taps it and it moves
the recorder
completely in my hand.
AARON: Oh, wow.
You can hear me
on the recorder
telling
the other investigator,
"Something just tapped
the recorder
almost out of my hands."
-Let's hear that.
-Alright.
Can you tell me
what your name is?
[ Tap ]
Uh, something just tapped
the digital recorder away.
One more time?
Let me see if I can
pull it up again.
Can you tell me
what your name is?
[ Tap ]
Uh, something just tapped
the digital recorder away.
Was that you tapping the
recorder like you tapped --
Weird feeling.
Whoa.
It was like I was holding --
What was that?
Was that outside?
[ Indistinct conversations ]
Sounds like
something fell.
-See anything?
-Was it this?
[ Metal clangs ]
Yeah, that's what
it sounds like.
Whoa.
It was like I was holding --
Whoa.
It was like I was holding --
That's actually off
this room we were just in.
Oh, my God.
No way.
Yeah,
it was right there.
ZAK: Incredibly, at the same
time Aaron is hit
by a strong dark energy,
a heavy metal room number plate
detaches itself from the door
and flies all the way
across the hall.
[ Metal clangs ]
Room 201 was occupied
by pregnant women in labor.
I meet with the president
of the museum,
who tells me something that's
chilling and may be connected.
What would you say
a majority of the deaths
that occurred
at the hospital were from?
The most deaths
I've seen on a death
certificate
are infant deaths.
Infant deaths?
Why so many infants?
We're talking
malnutrition.
We're talking measles
and whooping cough.
All these
childhood diseases.
Because there's
no vaccines then
for a lot
of this kind of stuff
until after
World War II.
Is the exquisite pain
of decades of lost children
reverberating through
this area of the hospital?
We ask Ignacio to rejoin
the investigation.
Aaron asks him to
lie on his bed,
hoping to trigger whatever
has been choking him.
Why do you choke him out
while he lays here asleep?
[ Static ]
Nothing is coming
through the Spirit Box.
Nothing.
Look, are you even --
Maybe it's not here.
You did say,
"At certain times."
Right?
-Right.
Right, the only thing
that's been scary today,
for us at least, has been
when we were in that room.
[ Metal clangs ]
-Right.
-Room 201. What's that?
Right when I was talking
about -- what was that?
-I have no idea.
-Oh, it's right -- is that it?
Dude!
-That happened again?
Don't no one touch it,
no one touch it.
It was right when I was
talking about room 201.
Again when I was talking
about 201, this is what I heard.
[ Metal clangs ]
-Yep, that was it.
-That's what it is.
when we were in that room.
-Right.
-Room 201.
when we were in that room.
-Right.
-Room 201.
What's that?
ZAK: This is the second example
of an object
being inexplicably
thrown or moved,
corroborating my theory
that the spirits here develop
an abnormally
high level of energy
because of the old mine
across the street.
I actually talked to a lady
that actually worked here
in the hospital
that actually heard rumors
about a 9-year-old.
She died in,
like, the 1930s.
And she heard the little girl
running up
on the second floor
back and forth.
MAN: And that corresponds,
too, with the legend.
What's the Mexican witch
that takes the children?
When I was a little boy,
one of our tales
is La Llorona.
So in your culture,
is La Llorona,
instead of an actual woman,
is it more of like a curse?
Like a curse.
Right.
ZAK:
According to Mexican legend,
La Llorona kidnaps
and drowns children
and is commonly
associated with water.
Could the highly
charged toxic water
sitting at the bottom
of the mine
be generating a manifestation
of this murderous
threat to children?
We want to spend the night
watching you sleep.
Whatever's in there
is intelligent.
I hear somebody upstairs.
Oh, my God,
it says "attack"!
ZAK: Because we feel a looming
threat of violence
at this Arizona hospital,
I decide to conduct
a preliminary investigation.
ZAK: What I want to do
right now
is something we've
never done before.
I want you to go in there,
go to your room,
go to sleep,
do your thing.
We're going to watch you.
And I know this sounds
creepy, however,
I want to see
if we can document
any type of evidence
of this entity choking you.
Can you feel a pressure
on your throat?
Like a hand,
like a hand.
Or whoever was
throwing these plates.
Oh, it's like I was holding --
What was that?
If that was happening
during the day,
and you said
it's active at night,
before we go in there
and do our lockdown,
which would be
tomorrow night,
we want to spend a night
watching you sleep.
Okay.
ZAK: As Ignacio makes his way to
go to his room to go to sleep,
we will be watching his every
move from our nerve center
set up inside of this van.
We have also placed a talking
EVP device in his room,
aiming right at him.
I sent Billy into the room
across from his bedroom
to conduct a paranormal
Puck II session
without Ignacio knowing.
And the sensor for this device
is located right here
on Ignacio's dresser.
Now we watch
a grown man sleep.
It's like
a sting operation.
Right?
I don't think we've
ever done this before.
Mnh-mnh.
-"Figure."
-What's Billy asking?
It just says "figure."
Billy.
Can you ask what figure
is in the room?
Okay.
Spirits.
Zak, I just asked what
figure is in the room.
And it says "spirits."
He just said,
"What figure's in the room,"
and it said "spirits."
Zak, while I was
setting that stuff up,
I could feel a pit
in my stomach, man.
There's something going on.
So, we're whispering
because Billy's
across the hall
in another room.
Oh, my God,
it says "attack"!
-Oh, my God.
-Stop, stop.
It says "figure, attack."
AARON: Oh, my God.
ZAK:
As Billy asks the spirit
why it's trying
to attack Ignacio,
it responds with "talking."
We don't really understand
why this would be a motivation,
but could it be
that he is talking too much
about what's happening
in here with his attacks?
Zak, come in.
Yeah, go ahead.
I just asked
the paranormal Puck,
"Why are you trying to attack?"
And it says "talking."
It's trying to get
his attention.
It wants to talk to him.
Hands.
It just said "hand."
Keep an eye
on his hands.
Okay.
Oh, "hold hand."
AARON: Oh, my God.
Dude, the talking EVP
just said "hold hand."
ZAK: We do not know it
in the moment,
but this message
of hold hand will foreshadow
an extremely terrifying
event involving Ignacio.
We got "9."
We got "figure, attack,
hold, hand."
That's incredible.
Why did it say "9"?
What room is he in
and what room am I in?
Ask the paranormal Puck
what does
the number 9 mean?
7.
Zak, you're not
gonna believe this.
I asked, "What does
the number 9 mean?"
And it said "7."
ZAK: Very quietly, as to keep
from waking up Ignacio,
Billy immediately peeks his head
out of his doorway to see
if the number 7
connects with his room.
As Billy pans his camera around,
he notices that the room to
the left of his is number 8,
which means that he is
in room number 7.
And it's at this moment
that he realizes
the spirit knows he's there.
Okay, stand by.
I hear somebody upstairs.
Yeah, I just heard footsteps.
Was that him?
I hear somebody upstairs.
Yeah.
It says arms.
Watch his arms.
ZAK: We begin capturing
something truly shocking.
It seems now the spirit
is sending us messages
by telling us what
part of Ignacio's body
it is going to touch next.
Look, and he just
scratched his arms.
I don't know whether that
was paranormal or not.
-Right, pretty cool.
-It's pretty weird.
It said arms
and two seconds later,
he scratched his arm.
If something touched him,
it might just feel
like an itch to him.
"Finger."
-It says "finger."
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
He just --
Did he just
move his finger?
Did you see that?
Right after we got "finger,"
he moved his finger.
And it looks like he totally
responded to something.
It's every single time
that this says a body part
AARON: He reacts.
he reacts
to that body part.
It says "arms" and
he scratched his arms.
It said "finger,"
he moved his finger.
That's what happens.
And now it says --
look, "happens."
You just said that's what
happens, and it says "happens."
What?
Dude, whatever's in there
is intelligent.
Yeah.
Spirits, how are you able
to interact
with my questions?
How can you hear me?
How can you see me?
-"Monitor."
-"Monitor"?
-Monitor.
-No way.
AARON: No way.
We're watching it,
but it's watching us
through the monitor.
Through the video feed.
-Stop.
-That's kind of creepy.
-Yeah, that's creepy.
I just asked,
"How are you watching us?"
And it said monitor
through the monitor.
So, it's aware
of all of this.
It's aware
of all of this.
Zak.
Yeah, go ahead.
I just asked the paranormal Puck
II, "Who is choking Ignacio?"
And it replied with a name.
What's the name?
It says Larry.
ZAK: As Billy returns
to base camp,
we are all in utter shock
as to what we are
witnessing right now.
To me, it's just mind-boggling
because he can't hear
what these words are.
He can't see them.
He's asleep.
There's nothing --
he can't hear us talking.
BILLY: It's pretty incredible.
I'm blown away.
This is amazing.
AARON: Something just got
thrown at us, Zak.
ZAK: Can you tell me
who is choking Ignacio?
Whoa! Whoa!
ZAK: While we have been
watching Ignacio sleep
at the Phelps Dodge Hospital,
we have been capturing
mind-blowing evidence
of intelligent communication.
So, instead of waking him up
and sending him to the hotel,
we come up with another plan
to begin our lockdown.
We're going to start our actual
lockdown investigation
right now.
I was going to wake him up
and get him out of here,
but I think we're just
going to let him sleep
and start our lockdown
and see if us being
in the hospital
has any negative effect on him.
Hello?
Can you tell me
who is choking Ignacio?
BILLY: Zak, there's some
stairs right here.
We now make our way upstairs
so that we can be louder
while investigating
without disturbing Ignacio
as he sleeps.
AARON: Go that way
to the right.
Somebody up here?
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
Zak, stop.
-What?
-Go back.
Shine your light down
on the ground.
Right here.
Turn your light on.
Whatever you just had.
Right there, this.
Oh, geez.
I thought something
threw at you.
It's a freaking
cockroach.
We begin using
the SB7 Spirit Box
to see if any spirits
will talk to us.
And as we begin
walking down the hallway,
I notice something else
on the floor.
Do you remember us
from earlier?
What's wrong?
What?
Who would be
barefoot up here?
Only one.
[ Sniffing ]
Smell that?
What is it?
-Smell that?
-Sulfur?
-Yeah.
-Rotten egg-ish?
Yeah.
ZAK: As we turn
the Spirit Box back on,
we continue to
receive no voices.
But as we've come to learn,
that doesn't mean
a spirit isn't close by.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What was that?
What was that?
That came from where
you guys were standing.
Dude, something just got
thrown at us, Zak.
-I heard it.
-At you or me?
-Can you talk to us?
-Whoa.
-Can you talk to us?
-Whoa. Whoa.
ZAK: Because we are experiencing
poltergeist activity,
and it is absolutely
terrifying up here,
I quickly come up
with a new plan.
I've already seen it
throwing in there.
If the camera's pointing
in the right direction.
I hope to God I do,
but I don't --
Just stay up here alone
for a little while.
ZAK: While Aaron remains on
the second floor by himself,
Billy and I decide
to check in on Ignacio,
who has been sound asleep on
the other side of the hospital.
We begin by taking full-spectrum
still photos to see
if we can get
a visual of the spirit
who was communicating
with us earlier.
Upstairs, Aaron
starts hearing
someone walking
very close to him,
which causes him
to freeze in place.
He then captures this ball
of light passing by him
right as he hears footsteps
moving in that direction.
We debunk this
as not being dust,
because these cameras
have been rolling for hours
and this is the first time
any of them have captured
a light anomaly.
What Aaron hears
next is chilling.
AARON: Right here is 201.
And the fixture
ended up over here.
It got us out of this room.
That's actually off this room
we were just in.
Oh, my God.
All right.
I'm going in.
Hello?
Here we go.
[ Metal scrapes ]
[ Sighs ]
Here we go.
[ Metal scrapes ]
Here we go.
[ Metal scrapes ]
ZAK: While Aaron is still
behind this camera,
at the other end
of the hallway
where he heard
that unexplained noise,
watch closely at
what is captured
just beyond this door frame.
We cannot explain what
this unusual anomaly is.
Could it be a spirit that's
trying to keep a close eye
on Aaron's every move?
This is what we're
communicating with.
That does not look human.
I'm going to go downstairs,
du-- oh, my God.
ZAK: Billy and I continue
our experiment with Ignacio
at this Ajo, Arizona, hospital.
We capture no evidence
on the full-spectrum camera,
so I decide to use
the SLS camera
to see if any spirits
are lurking around Ignacio,
who is in deep sleep right now.
I am giving Billy the thumbs-up,
because right now,
there is a spirit
on the edge of Ignacio's bed,
and I cannot speak
for fear of waking him up.
And just as this figure
manifests by the bed,
watch Jay as he witnesses
the talking EVP device
deliver a very accurate
and disturbing message.
Bed.
I immediately return to base
camp to review this footage.
Watch.
Here's his bed, again.
Watch this.
Boom.
-Whoa.
Now it's standing up.
That's crazy.
JAY: Dude.
And what did we get
on the talking EVP earlier?
It said "figure"
-Right.
"attack."
"Bed," "side."
This right here, this is what
we're communicating with
with the live EVP right now.
I hate to say it, but that
does not look human to me.
It doesn't have
a human shape.
Yet, however, it's mapping
in something,
as if something is there.
Man, that's probably
around the same time,
I don't think you can
see him doing it,
but I swear you'll see it
when you sync this up,
it says "raised"
on the talking EVP.
And he sits up and totally,
like, moves around.
Did he sit up
right after this?
I mean, I don't know exactly
where this syncs up,
but it was during
that session that he sat up.
So something
made him move,
which very well
could be that figure.
Is this spirit yet again taking
credit for Ignacio's actions
by now making him
raise his head?
We believe this is the figure
that has been touching
Ignacio
and communicating with us.
I decide to send Jay and Billy
to investigate the basement
while I stay back
at nerve center
and continue to monitor
Ignacio's sleeping.
These are
the loudest tennis shoes
I've ever investigated in.
-Right?
-Listen to this.
[ Shoes squeaking ]
-Nice.
-Zak is not pleased.
I've never realized how watching
a person sleep
for hours and hours,
how tired it makes you.
It's like torture.
But I've got to force myself
to keep my eyes open
and to continue to
watch him sleep to see
if he gets attacked.
This has to be documented
if it happens.
After another hour of
watching this grown man
sleep like a baby,
I am fighting to stay
awake inside of this van.
I can't do this anymore.
I have to get up
and investigate.
So I will now try to find
Aaron inside.
ZAK:
Aaron, are you okay?
AARON: Honestly,
not really, dude.
Are you still upstairs?
Yeah.
I was, like, you know
when you get scared,
like in the situation upstairs,
you'll freeze and you'll stop.
I keep hearing all these noises.
Here we go.
[ Metal scrapes ]
I got some crazy EVP.
Listen.
[ Speaking indistinctly ]
It goes, "Rrr, evil, rrr."
Listen.
And then I started getting dizzy
and I tried finding my way out
and I thought I was
on the same floor,
but I went down steps, but then
I thought I was in the basement.
I've been walking around so lost
trying to just get outside
and get fresh air.
I don't know, I feel like
I'm on a ship
just going like this, dude.
You know, I'm just out of it.
I just need fresh air bad, dude.
Where are you guys at?
[ Metal clangs ]
That's what I keep hearing.
I came down this area
because I kept hearing
It was like --
It just --
[ Grunting ]
What was that?
BILLY:
Oh, I got chills in here, Jay.
I heard like a ching-ching.
ZAK: The tension is high at
the Phelps Dodge Hospital.
[ Aaron chuckling ]
It got ya.
Oh, I needed that.
Sorry.
ZAK: Billy is using
the spirit sweep device,
which allows spirits
to control the sweeping
and scanning
of audio frequencies
in order to communicate.
Are you down here
in the basement?
Broadcast your voice.
This is, like, a weird one.
Go ahead.
Oh, I got chills
in here, Jay.
-Yeah.
-Ooh, I'm all goosebumped up.
Like, my arms.
Oh, man,
look at that, dude.
JAY: Oh, wow.
Can you knock one
of these plates over?
[ Clang ]
Did you --
Did you hear that?
Yeah.
-What just happened?
I heard like a ching-ching.
In this room.
-Yeah.
Why did this thing
get so quiet?
What the?
No, dude.
Jay, Jay.
Jay, how'd those lights just --
-I have no idea.
I don't even think
there's power down here.
What?
What the--
-No, dude.
Jay, Jay.
I'm not afraid of you.
And I don't want any of you
other human spirits
to be mad at me
or to be angry at me.
I just want to
communicate with you.
I'm interested about you.
I'm interested about your life
and your family.
Whoa, man.
Geez, dude.
-You okay?
-No, I'm not.
AARON: What happened?
You just fell sideways,
like that dizzy,
bad feeling.
As I'm conducting
an EVP session,
I get very dizzy
and lose my balance,
causing me to hit the wall.
And upon reviewing
our recordings,
we capture an incredible EVP
right after I experience
this dizzy spell.
-You okay?
-No, I'm not.
AARON: What happened?
You just fell sideways,
like that dizzy,
bad feeling.
[ Unintelligible voice ]
Whoa, dude,
did you hear that?
-You okay?
-No, I'm not.
AARON: What happened?
You just fell sideways,
like that dizzy,
bad feeling.
Oh, my God.
I know what it says.
Zak, do you know
what it says?
I know what it says.
You just fell sideways.
Like that dizzy, bad feeling.
Oh, my God.
I know what it says, Zak.
I don't know if I should
tell you what I hear.
Listen.
Like that dizzy
bad feeling.
What?
I hear,
"I want to kill"
You just said that
you want to kill Zak Bagans.
I didn't say that.
I don't want to be
around you right now.
ZAK: Is the voice we captured
at this Arizona hospital
threatening my life?
What?
Listen.
No, that's what
you're wanting to hear.
That's what I hear.
Like that dizzy,
bad feeling.
You don't hear it?
-No.
Do you know
what worries me more?
-You don't hear it?
-No.
What worries me even more
is that you're hearing that.
Well, I hear,
"I want to kill Z--"
And I hear Zak,
maybe it's not
your last name, but
-No.
-You don't hear that at all?
I don't hear that.
After listening closely
to this full EVP sentence,
it is totally not saying,
"I want to kill Zak Bagans."
And it disturbs me
that Aaron is hearing this.
The question now is, why?
The question is why
are you hearing that?
I don't know.
I don't have feelings
of killing Zak Bagans
or anything.
No, I know, but I don't hear it,
but why do you hear it?
I don't know.
I hear, "I want to kill"
Or, maybe it's not kill,
it's tough.
It goes -- Like, that's
what it sounds like to me
right after you're done
talking like that.
Is that what
you want it to say?
No. I just hear,
"I want to kill."
I know, but it's just weird
how you heard
that the very first time.
Oh, my God, I know
what it says, Zak.
I don't know if I should
tell you what I hear.
Dude, stop.
-What?
I'm not trying to like,
say I'm hearing something
because of that.
No, I'm just --
I just hear.
I just heard --
-I'm just saying,
is there something
influencing you
to hear that?
I don't think so.
Dude, stop.
-No.
-Stop, dude.
No, you just said
that you want --
Dude, stop.
You just said that
you want to kill Zak Bagans.
I didn't say that.
I said I heard,
"I want to kill"
The problem is that
I don't hear it.
Why are you hearing that?
-I don't know.
You're hearing that
in your head.
We just got an amazing EVP,
but I don't hear,
"I want to kill
Zak Bagans."
Okay, what'd you hear?
Something, but it
doesn't say that.
Okay.
Well, I don't know.
Well, it makes me nervous to
know that you're hearing that.
This man right here
said that that EVP said,
"I want to kill Zak Bagans."
It does not sound like that.
There's an amazing EVP here.
It's a sentence and we're going
to have to analyze it.
But the first thing he hears
is he thinks it says,
"I want to kill Zak Bagans."
Do you think I want to be
in a dark building with this man
who's acting strange
who spent over an hour
and a half upstairs by himself,
and now he wants
to kill Zak Bagans.
I don't want
to kill Zak Bagans.
Well, you said that.
I don't want to be
around you right now.
Okay, well, let's not
be around each other.
Then go that way.
Okay.
It's approximately 3:30 a.m.,
and Ignacio is still sound
asleep when this happens.
What?
You guys?
Hello?
You guys get anything?
Ignacio is noticeably disturbed
when it seems as though
something pulls
or holds his hand,
which is the one
command from earlier
that was yet to be fulfilled.
Something pulled on my hand.
The mine that once fed
this hospital with broken bodies
now feeds energy
to a violent presence.
Are you being choked?
Yes.
Whatever this presence may be,
the man who sleeps here
no longer has to face it alone.
I'm not afraid of you.
